Board the bus at 9 am and enjoy a step back in time! Go off the
beaten path this holiday season with this walking tour through
three Victorian districts: Gramercy Park, Ladies Mile, and Chelsea,
and explore the historic Christmas connections that emerged from
each. Stops include where Clement Clarke Moore wrote ‘Twas the
Night Before Christmas, O. Henry wrote The Gift of the Magi, and
the Christmas shopping area of the 1880s. Have free time following
the tour until 4 pm, then board the bus for the return trip to
Desmond.
